On the positive side I paid $2,000 and it has a pump out that I will rebuild and sell.. I know Lockhart would have gotten it for like $250, but it will be a good challenging unit to say the least!! Let's just say it looks like all the parts are here..

jhc, that has to be the worse lay out I've ever seen.

Probably my biggest challenge yet!

I just took all the stuff, I didn't buy the van.. Started at 9am got it loaded by noon, had to grind a bunch! Then 8.5 hour ride home, great time!

8.5.....egads

I know.. Better then having them ship, and you don't know what you're getting.. I did drive a unit back from Seattle, good trip! BTW where the hell is Becker?

I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Keep us posted with pics.

Back in the 70's and early 80's, a number of truck mounts were installed that way; mostly because they were designed in such a way that you couldn't do a side door mount. Driving a truck with a heavy unit in the back like that was an experience.

Without getting into brand identification, there was a brand and model popular in our region (as well as other areas in the country) that was usually installed that way, so I can see why someone in Ohio had that kind of installation.

Not at all necessary with a Peak, but either the cleaner or installer once had one of the dinosaurs that had to be installed that way, and just did all their units that way afterward, regardless of the brand or size of the machine.

That's just my guess, but its what I sometimes still see around here with guys who let "ancestral memory" guide their layout and usage.

I think I know exactly what Jim is talking about! There are still a few hangers-on in my area (NE Ohio) that mount their TM's in the rear door. I too had my first Powermatic loaded in the rear door. It was a real thrill on hilly roads, regardless of the spring load! Great for traction in the snow.
